The state of Illinois has allowed the Satanic Temple in Chicago place a monument to Satan in the State House rotunda. This monument to sin and Satan portray a woman's hand with a serpent wrapped around it grasping an apple. This is clearly meant to encourage the rejection of God and to promote the evil, suffering and sin that Satan has caused in the world.

On Nov. 29, the Illinois Department of Public Health released the 2017 Abortion Statistics report. Abortions in Illinois have increased to a staggering 39,329 babies in the womb murdered in 2017. Another horrific fact this report showed is that 5,528 women from other states came to Illinois to have their children dismembered in their womb because Illinois encourages the killing of children in the womb. Not only do we murder tens of thousands of our own little girls and boys, we encourage women from other states to come here to stop the beating hearts of the babies in their womb.

Our governor elect has said two of his first priorities will be the legalization of drugs and the expansion of gambling in Illinois. Honoring Satan, killing our own children and making money off of the killing babies, drugs and gambling is what we have chosen for ourselves in Illinois. Is it any wonder we see violence in our streets.

This Christmas season, may we all look to the gentle child born in Bethlehem and turn from the ways of sin, Satan and abortion.
